- Harley recruits her friend and mentor Queen of Fables to help her steal a force field from STAR Labs, to steal a weather-changing machine, so she can impress the Legion of Doom. Meanwhile, Poison Ivy dates Kite Man.
- In breaking news, the Queen of Fables is going to be released from the Tax Code book after a judge finds her imprisonment cruel and unusual punishment. Harley and the Queen are watching at the Queen's tax office and the Queen assures Harley they'll still have their weekly coffees. In response to the Queen's query, Harley says that the Legion of Doom are still ignoring her and the Queen breaks off for an appointment.
That night at the mall, Harley tells the crew that they'll steal Kord Industries' weather-changing machine, which no villain has ever stolen. King Shark figures they shouldn't try if other villains couldn't do it, and Clayface assume a disguises and does a back story until Harley irritably interrupts him. Clayface reports that the machine is protected by a thousand-ish lasers. They have to get into STAR Labs to steal a personal force field to get by the lasers, but the air duct is only four inches wide.
The news runs a report about the Queen being released by Zatanna. The judge then sentences her to serve the remainder of her time in Arkham. Harley figures that they have to do something since the Queen has been stuck in the book for 30 years, and because the Queen has been like a mentor to Harley. Ivy figures the Queen belongs there, but Harley ignores her and leaves.
Guards are taking the Queen to Arkham when Harley rams the van over and frees the Queen. The Queen breaks one guards' arm, gets her story book, and leaves.
Later at the mall, Harley introduces the Queen, who has agreed to help them break into STAR Labs. The Queen pulls out Humpty Dumpty for King Shark and then makes scrambled eggs out of him. Ivy privately warns Holly that the Queen is a legit bad guy while Harley is a good person but a bad guy. She says that Harley is going to regret teaming up with the Queen, and explains that she's going out to "do environment" by dressing up like a 40s housewife.
Ivy goes to a cheap apartment and finds Kite Man waiting with a bouquet of roses. He keeps making sexual innuendos, and Ivy figures they should have met at the motel again. Kite Man then suggests that they go out somewhere public for once, and Ivy suggests that they got to a very dark movie theater.
Outside of STAR Labs, the Queen summons Cinderella's mouse, and the mouse arms himself with a mini-bazooka and cigarette. The crew prepare to enter the tunnel they've dug, and discover that the Praxis family reunion is going on in the park they've chosen. A guy who kicked his soccer ball reports the crew to the rest of his family, and the Queen tells Harley to steal the force field while she keeps the family busy. The Queen goes over and summons some fairy tale characters, and a satisfied Harley goes into the tunnel.
Later, the crew run out with the force field and discover the Queen has slaughter the entire Praxis family. The Queen explains that the Big Bad Wolf tore the family apart so she killed the guy... then everyone saw her kill that guy, so she killed everyone else. Harley spots one boy, still alive and behind a picnic table, but tells the Queen she killed everyone. The Queen summons the Three Little Pigs to "clean up" the bodies by eating them.
Back at the mall, Ivy returns and asks Harley if she was right to be worried about the Queen. Harley admits her friend was right and she'll tell the Queen that it's over. The Queen comes over and tells Harley that it was fun shit, and says that she's going to stick around and help Harley get the weather machine. Harley hesitantly tries to suggest the Queen leave because her style is too intense, and refuses to cross the line of killing innocent people. The Queen isn't impressed and says that heroes have a line but villains don't give a fuck. She warns that the Legion gives zero fucks and if Harley wants to join them, she'd better start pole-vaulting over her lines. After a minute, the Queen says that she'll go but Harley is making a mistake.
Ivy meets Kite Man at an expensive restaurant and the host tells him that they're backed up even though Kite Man has a reservation. The villainess would rather go to a movie, but Kite Man persists.
The crew break into Kord Industries and take out the guards with tranq darts, the mouse still with them because he's a mercenary. He goes in and sets of the lasers, which reduce him to ash. Harley turns on the force field and goes in, and it protects her from the lasers. The beams bounce back, destroying the lasers, and Harley takes the machine.
Back at the mall, Harley calls Gotham's mayor and threatens to raise the city's temperature until he gives her a billion dollars. The mayor calls them a scourge, and they find the Queen and the Big Bad Wolf waiting for them. The Queen tells Harley that she messed up by pissing her off and let her walk away in one piece, and is willing to fuck over her friends. Harley refuses to hand over the machine, and a man jumps in on a lightning bolt and blasts the story book out of the Queen's hands. The Wolf disappears, and the intruder blasts everyone. He says that he's Jason Praxis, last surviving member of the Praxis family, and he's there for revenge.
At the restaurant, Kite Man complains the host that they still haven't seated him. The host seats Riddler immediately when he arrives, and Ivy tells Kite Man they should go. She'd rather not drop her name to get them a table, and he realizes she's embarrassed to be seen with him. Kite Man loudly argues with her, and loudly says who Ivy is. He walks off in disgust as their pager goes off.
At the mall, Harley admits that she saw one survivor and didn't say anything. Praxis threw himself against a nearby electrical fence and it gave him powers. He tells the villains that the only way they can make things back is to bring his family back, and Harley admits that they can't. Psycho shields them with a TK field but warns that he can't do it for long. Praxis tells them to hand over the Queen and he'll let the rest of them live. Harley immediately comes out with the Queen and tells Praxis that she's all his.
Ivy goes to Kite Man's apartment and apologizes for how she acted at the restaurant. Kite Man gets it because he understands having to live up to a superpowered reputation. Ivy admits that Kite Man doesn't care what other people think about him, and he says that he cares about what she thinks... and her ass. She says that she likes him, and Kite Man's roommate Bill comes in. Ivy admits that she's Kite Man's girlfriend.
Praxis prepares to kill the Queen, and the Queen tells Harley she doesn't have it in her to do it. Harley admits that she used to think she had a line and takes the Queen to Praxis, and Praxis knocks himself out when his lightning bounces off the force field on the Queen. Harley reveals that she secretly put it on the Queen, and says that she'd never sent a friend to her death. She's going to let the Queen go because she has the machine and won, and she's a bad guy but not a bad person. The Queen tells her she's a dumb person and will regret letting her go alive.
Praxis wakes up and asks if he avenged his family. Harley says that he did and he says he can finally get on with his life... and the Queen kills him. Harley is shocked, and the Queen leaves.
Ivy returns to find the crew trying to turn on the machine by guessing the password. After enough failed attempts, the machine self-destructs.
